I've noticed we have quite a diversity of cultures throughout Star Trek canon, but I can't recall any characters who were (in-universe) from Australia. Are there any Australian characters in Star Trek?

They all boldly bloody went to the beach mate.

I started a petition in the hopes of an Australian main character to be included in the new series, Star Trek: Discovery. I reckon it will be something new and fresh and if done right, relatable to those Australian Trekkies. Here's the link to the petition: change.org/p/…

The Star Trek transcripts at Chakoteya.net mention only one fictional character from Australia. Any Terrans with unspecified places of birth could potentially have been born in Australia, but there’s no way to know for sure which ones.

I suppose it's possible that a personnel log seen on-screen lists Australia for someone, somewhere, or there could be an oblique reference to Australia that no one has recorded on Memory Alpha.

Australian actor Wendy Hughes used her own Australian accent when she played Lieutenant Commander Nella Daren in Next Generation Season Six, Episode 19, so I just assumed her character was also Australian.

Kyle was born on Earth. According to the comic book "Who's Who in Star Trek 1", he was born in Adelaide, Australia and his father was a sales representative for one of Earth's largest transportation companies. The novel Traitor Winds established his birthplace as Sydney, Australia.

However, there are contrary citations:

For the Animated Series, he had a mustache and was voiced by James Doohan. The script for "Beyond the Farthest Star" mentioned that the character had to be voiced with a British accent.

The video game Star Trek: Starship Creator mentioned that he was born in Sheffield, England in 2241.
